At times in our lives we count on bridges to help us continue our journey.
Here are four keys to help advance your career if a bridge may be required.
- Locate a suitable bridge or build a new one before you need it.
- Trust your bridge will be ready when it's time to cross.
- Once you’re on the bridge, keep going until you reach the other side.
- Don’t burn that bridge after crossing - leave it for others who follow.
Step by giant step, keep moving! 👣
